This is known as Taj Mahal Bangladesh; it's like a carbon copy of the renowned one in Agra, India. It can be kind of pricey.
Taj Mahal Bangladesh is an architectural imitation of Taj Mahal, a Mughal mausoleum in Agra, India,. The structure was built by Ahsanullah Moni, a Bangladeshi film-maker, as a tourism destination for low-income families from Bangladesh. Construction of the 1.6 hectare complex took five years from 2003 to 2008, and cost about $58 million. It was opened to the public in March, 2009.

This bit of a forlorn but expansive fort along the Shitalakshya River founded around time of Dhaka's establishment as Mughal capital, in the early 17th century, as protection against pirates. It offers some solitude away from the street chaos, but you might run into some characters here, so could be best to come during the day.
